> I started taking Lamictal, and after a week on 25 mg I had a breakdown at work. I started crying uncontrollably, beat my legs with my fists, and even starting biting the skin on my arms-drawing blood. I woke up the next day crying as well. Is this heard of?
WOW, I can't believe I just read exactly what I have been wondering since being placed on lamictal. Since being on Lamictal, I have started cutting. At first when I told my pdoc, he increased my dosage from 75 mgs to 200. I was ok for a while, but recently I have began to cut again. Tonight I really did a number on my arms, and I don't know what I'm going to do.. It is so hot in south Florida so when I wear a long sleeved shirt it will be so obvious..
It just crossed my mind today about the connection between lamictal and the cutting. I haven't really researched it yet, but now that another person is experiencing the same thing, I know its not just my crazy brain.
Thanks, and take care.
